Just Once More

by damommy

Beside the little brook I stood

remembering a song once heard

in this untamed, enchanted wood

where nothing’s moved, no leaf has stirred.

I felt at home, my heart lay here,

I left it when that time before

I heard a melody so dear.

I wished to hear the tune once more.

So, soon it came, that lilting air.

the same sweet notes, the same refrain.

In blink of eye, he’s standing where

I thought I’d ne’er see him again.

Beside the little brook he stood

and leaned against the sycamore

in this untamed, enchanted wood.

I wished to hear the tune once more.
